Determining Liability After a Moncks Corner Bus Accident

Liability is not always clear-cut after a Moncks Corner bus accident. Unlike when an individual in a passenger car causes a crash, the bus driver may not be the only party legally liable.

We can help you understand how to navigate the claims process based on the specific facts of your case. We are not afraid to take on any corporation or government agency to try to collect compensation for you. We can handle:

Accidents Involving TriCounty Link

TriCounty Link provides public transit services for Moncks Corner, as well as greater Berkeley, Charleston, and Dorchester counties. The public agency that operates TriCounty Link may be liable when:

An accident occurred while you were riding a TriCounty Link bus.

A TriCounty Link bus hit your vehicle.

A TriCounty Link bus hit you while you were on foot.

Moncks Corner School Bus Accidents

If you or your child suffered injuries in a crash caused by a Berkeley County School District bus driver, or a driver from another local school district, we are here to help. We can also help you file your claim if the accident occurred because of a bus driver from a local private school.

Moncks Corner Accidents Involving a Privately Owned Bus

When the driver of a privately owned coach or bus causes an accident, we may be able to file an insurance claim or personal injury lawsuit against their employer and/or the owner of the bus. We only have a limited time from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit in this type of case, so it is important to call us right away to discuss your options.

Let Us Help with the Moncks Corner, SC, Bus Accident Claims Process

Our team needs to investigate your accident case. This investigation will include identifying:

The negligent party

The negligent act that caused the crash

Who is liable for your damages

This investigation gives us the chance to build a solid case that will support our claim and can withstand the scrutiny of litigation if filing a personal injury lawsuit becomes necessary.

If a Private Party Is Liable

If a private party is liable for your injuries, we can try to negotiate a fair settlement agreement with the insurance company. If this is not effective, a personal injury lawsuit may be necessary.

If a Government Agency is Liable

If a government agency is liable, we must follow a strict process to try to recover the compensation you deserve. We know how the South Carolina Tort Claims Act (SCTA) affects these cases, and how to navigate the administrative claims process to win the payout our clients deserve.

There are stringent deadlines in place in these cases, so it is paramount you call us as soon as possible after a crash if you believe a government agency may be liable. Only once we exhaust the opportunities available through the administrative protocol can we file a personal injury lawsuit against the agency.
